“'While the meaning of a book may be informed by the author‘s intentions, it isn‘t defined by them. Meaning comes from the combination of what the author puts in and what the reader takes out'“ (Levithan 59).

The beauty of reading is that it is a personal experience with no one correct answer. Authors are reflecting something meaningful to them that they hope to connect to readers' unique experiences but don't expect a uniform response.

Initially, the structure of this book confused me, but as I have progressed through it, I am starting to see it come together. Like Flying Lessons and Mexikid, I like that Answers in the Pages introduces a unique style of writing for students to see. A cool assignment to do with this book is to split the class into three groups and have each group become experts on each story and jigsaw it to bring it all together!

Gah. I was excited for this polyamorous romance and really enjoying it so far. Then I hit the halfway point and the main character reads some paperwork and discovers!!! Some DRAMA!!!

No idea what the drama is.

I‘m annoyed. I‘m going to give it one more chapter. If the drama isn‘t revealed by the end of that chapter, this is a DNF (and maybe even if the drama is revealed).

I'm #onmountaintime for a few more hours. 😍
This was surprisingly deep for a book marketed as a thriller- which feels inaccurate. David has a one-night stand & when he wakes up, the guy in his bed is dead. Fearing he'll be blamed for the death, he calls his literary agent & they decide to take the body back to the hotel room where they originally met. But when he gets there, the guy's husband catches him in the room! (No, David didn't know he

bookandbedandtea was married.) The death is ruled a stroke but the husband wants answers and begins a cat and mouse game with David, who is struggling with questions of his identity due to his estrangement from his family, his failing literary career, and a failed romance. Some of that bogged down the middle of the book but the beginning and end were pretty strong. 8h
